Although R&B diva Gladys Knight got eliminated from the ABC-TV mega hit dance competition “Dancing With the Stars” (DWTS) on last Tuesday night, she received a parting gift that should keep a smile on her face and put a stride in her walk, a 60-pound weight loss.

The 67-year-old Motown legend put her best foot forward for an amazing six weeks and was ironically eliminated during Motown week, which featured a live performance by Mr. Smooth himself, the legendary Smokey Robinson.
